Hey cats! The short story A Fine Day Out took first place in the Adult section of the Graphic Novel Contest hosted by the San Jose Public Libraries. You’ll find us at the awards ceremony at the Martin Luther King branch this Saturday afternoon, shaking hands and preening and being beautiful.

If you’re local, be sure to come say hello! The website says they’ll have refreshments there and I bet that means they’ll have little cubes of fancy cheeses on toothpicks, and seriously that’s worth the price of admission* right there, I love that stuff. If they do, I intend to eat a completely silly amount of them.

*there is no admission fee.

Jason Brubaker is another one of a growing number of webcomics creators who got their start in the print world and are bringing their expertise online. Every page of his comic, ReMIND, is gorgeously colored and full of energetic textures, and every page is also huge, which I like in a comic, because I sure do like looking at pictures. The comic isn’t the only worthwhile thing about his site, though; as he’s also diligently keeping a record of what he’s learning from the webcomic effort and posting regularly to his blog. And he’s not shy at all about sharing his knowledge, either, as there are some fine tutorials on his site that explore the comic-making process.

And that is my pick for webcomic wednesday. Have you got something you’re digging this week? Link me up in the comments section and I’ll have a look!
